<p class="rtecenter"><strong>THEME: INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY IN EVALUATION</strong></p>
<p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/media/ncc-ces-logo.png" style="width: 200px; float: right; height: 45px; margin: 5px;" />The 2019 CES-NCC Annual Learning Event (ALE), will be held on Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre (at the Hampton Inn). This year’s ALE focuses on inclusion and diversity, as they apply to evaluation in a wide variety of different ways: how evaluation processes can be inclusive of a broad range of stakeholders; how diversity and inclusion can be measured; how a wide variety of organizations can access evaluation processes; and diversity in the field of evaluation.</p>
<p>The day will feature a keynote address by Dr. Jennifer Greene (Professor Emerita, University of Illinois). Dr. Greene will also be presenting a half-day workshop on February 25th. Space is limited.</p>
<p>The day continues with three streams of breakout sessions:</p>
<p>1) Inclusive <strong>evaluation:</strong> As ethical evaluators, we intend to build in opportunities for broad stakeholder engagement in preparing for, designing and conducting evaluation. Evaluations that are inclusive support ownership of evaluation findings and conclusions as well as ensuring useful and meaningful evaluation. This stream will focus on approaches (e.g. multicultural, participatory) and methodologies (e.g. culturally relevant and responsive and interdisciplinary) to build multiple experiences and perspectives into our practice, to counter more dominant cultural filters and normative assumptions and, examine how programs, policies and systemic issues affect stakeholders in different and profound ways.</p>
<p>2) Measuring <strong>equity and diversity:</strong> This stream will be composed of two distinct sessions. The first will be a panel discussion examining approaches to measuring equity and diversity, why these data are important to different types of organizations or programming, and how these approaches are being applied in certain organization. The second will be a complementary session on methodological considerations, including how EDI can be measured and reported on in meaningful ways.</p>
<p>3) Inclusion in <strong>action:</strong> This stream will focus on concrete ways to enhance inclusion in evaluation, through two distinct sessions. The morning session, which will be held in French, will be a discussion based on three case studies of evaluations where inclusion was a central element. Presenters will summarize their experience, placing an emphasis on successes and challenges, and the cases will be used as a basis for discussion with attendees. The afternoon session would take a different angle and look at inclusion in the field of evaluation as a profession, for evaluators with diverse backgrounds. The session will begin with some invited guests to share their stories, and open to a facilitated discussion of the current state of diversity in the evaluation community, as well as what we, as evaluators, can do to make the evaluation community more diverse.</p>
<p>Finally, the day will conclude with various heads of evaluation presenting about the federal guidelines and the progress that their department has made in implementing GBA+, and its associated inclusion and diversity considerations.</p>

<p><strong>Selected Strategies for Integrative Mixed Methods Data Analysis<br />
Presenter: Dr. Jennifer Greene </strong></p>
<p>This half-day workshop will mainly focus on select analysis strategies for integrative mixed methods data analysis. Participants will first be introduced to a framework for data analysis in mixed methods work. They will be presented select integrated analyses, wherein the various types of data are connected to one another during the data analysis phase of the study (rather than only during the interpretation phase). Exemplary instances of various types of integrative analysis will be liberally included. Time permitting, participants will engage in a brief integrative analysis activity, using a very small data set from a larger study.</p>

The feedback response rate was 40%, with 80% coming from members employed by the Government of Canada. This was the fifth year for the event. Half of the attendees were first time participants. Overall feedback was very encouraging, with more than 85% of the participants finding ALE2018 to be a good networking experience. An equal proportion thought the dialogue at ALE2018 was both valuable and useful, helping to improve knowledge and awareness of evaluation principles and ethics. Many of the presentations have been uploaded to National’s Grey literature archives with the tags “ALE2018”, “PrincipledEvaluation”, “CES-NCC 2018 Annual Learning Event”. Congrats to speakers, presenters, moderators and participants for making ALE2018 a continuing success.</p>

<p>This workshop is organized by the CES-National Capital Chapter as part of the 2018 Annual Learning Event <a href="http://ncc.evaluationcanada.ca/networking/annual-learning-event" target="_blank">http://ncc.evaluationcanada.ca/networking/annual-learning-event</a></p>
<p>Principles-focused evaluation provides a customized approach for evaluating principles-based initiatives. Three core evaluation questions are:</p>
<ul>
<li>
To what extent are the principles meaningful and actionable by those to whom they are targeted?</li>
<li>
If meaningful, to what extent are they adhered to?</li>
<li>
If adhered to, what results from principles-based interventions?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus, Principles-Focused Evaluation treats principles as the object of evaluation (the evaluand) and designs an evaluation to assess both implementation and consequences of principles-based change efforts.</p>
<p>Participants in the workshop will learn:</p>
<ul>
<li>
What principles-focused evaluation is and when is it particularly appropriate</li>
<li>
The GUIDE framework for conceptualizing principles</li>
<li>
How principles-focused evaluation relates to developmental evaluation and utilization-focused evaluation</li>
<li>
Methods for conducting principles-focused evaluations.</li>
<li>
Exemplars of Principles-Focused Evaluation.</li>
</ul>
<p>The workshop is based on Patton’s new book on<em> Principles-Focused Evaluation: The GUIDE</em>(2018).</p>
